What’s your favorite Mike & Molly moment? The cast of the now-cancelled CBS sitcom got together at NBC’s recent tribute to TV director James Burrows and discussed what they’ll be doing to commemorate the end of the series.
Mike & Molly is currently in the middle of its sixth and finale season. The sitcom, which stars Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell, was cancelled by CBS in December.
During the tribute, Jane Lynch asked the cast if they’ll be doing anything special when the series ends this year. Gardell said the cast was just trying to make it through the last episode as best they could:
We’re just trying to get through it because we have that same sense of family. We do. We get teared up. … We’re just kind of huddling together like we have since the beginning.”
Earlier, we posted both Gardell’s and McCarthy’s immediate reactions to the series’ cancellation. McCarthy tweeted that she’ll miss her second family.

There’s no word yet on when CBS will air the remaining episodes of Mike & Molly’s final season.
What do you think? Do you watch Mike & Molly? Are you sad it’s ending? What’s been your favorite moment on the show so far?
I am surprised you could not find a slot for Mike and Molly. This is the #1 sitcom. I am very disappointed in your Network.
Cant believe CBS would cancel such a great show!
Mish: They didn’t like the idea that Molly lose weight….talk about being against woman
Melissa McCarthy lost weight to play in the remake of the 80s classic “Ghostbusters”
Hopefully HULU or Netflix will pick it up… Be a shame to waste such a great cast!!!
Definitely one of the funniest shows on. I hope another network will pick it up. Maybe even Netflix.
Biggest mistake to cancel Mike and Molly. Everyone in the cast is great! This sitcom is so much better than a lot of other ones that are still on. Hopefully a different network will pick them up.
The only problem I saw with that funny citcom was it was only a half hour and it ended too soon could have watched it longer,shame on you CBS execs.
Mike and Molly is absolutely the funniest sitcom on tv! Its the funniest since Two and a Half Men – the one with Charlie Sheen, of course. Now the network is once again making another huge mistake. If the reason is because Melissa McCarthys weight loss, then shame on the network for sending that message! I would think the network has a responsibility to the public. Why is it that the public hasnt any voice that can be heard. Clearly nobody wants to see it cancelled! Come on, for heavens sake, dont cancel it…. 🙁
I think it is a bad decision to cancel Mike & Molly. This show is best and funniest show on television right now. The casting is perfect and characters are authentic. By adding a baby to the mix would bring in so many opportunities for big laughs. With the antics of Melissa McCarthy and a pot smoking sister-the door is wide open. The show was about two people trying to cope with overeating. Isn’t the point for them to lose wait? BIG MISTAKE!!
I’m very disappointed that this show is cancelled. Here’s a super funny show and all the characters are hilarious. If this is because of Melissa McCarthy losing weight shame on you. Please reconsider your poor decision and leave it alone!
I think it sucks they are canceling Mike and Molly. It is the best comedy that shows real life and families getting along, loving each other and living together. The network could have figured something out.
Seems as if enough people complained that CBS would reconsider. The chemistry amongst the actors on this show is amazing and each one brings so much to the program. My favorite may be their first date when Molly was high on cough syrup. The image of her pulling Mike’s nose hair comes to mind often and just cracks me up. Those two are great. Well, they are all fanatastic.
Should of canceled two broke girls and left mike and Molly alone!
yes cancel Two broke Girls and leave Mike & Molly alone. Please
No kidding cancel two broke Girls dumb show just plain dumb!
I think it is disgusting that they are canceling the show because Melissa McCarthy lost weight and is healthier. That is true discrimination! I think they should all sue those that are canceling the show. To be so mean as to punish someone for getting healthy and losing weight is a horrible message and example for young people! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!
I LOVE Mike & Molly. We watch reruns every evening because it’s a great feel-good show! It feels like a part of the family is moving away for good. Great chemistry, and every character brought something to the show that was relatable for someone in our family! Everyone was funny! We will sorely miss this show.
I just loved this show. It isn’t often that everything clicks with a show. I loved this cast. Believe it or not it reminded me of growing up in NY. Love Vincent Moronto great character. Thank u for the laughs. I will really miss this show and all the laughs. If u ever can come back, PLEASE do it. At least make a reunion in a few years. Will miss u all.

I am heart broken at this news of the series ending. There is not much in the way of really watchable sitcoms on any channel, least of all CBS. It must be great to be so high and mighty that they don’t give their viewers an option. Mike and Molly is one of the best series to air in years, and is right up there with ‘Friends’. How sad for CBS that they feel they can just lose viewers, I’ve had it with them, and will strive not to watch future airings.
